Let's just say that I was glad when Monday ended. Today has been much lighter + brighter (maybe the coffee gave me a buzz). Everything seems to be much simpler + more clear today, I love these types of days!

A fellow friend and subscriber of KCRW invited me to attend a Matt's Movie screening of 'Miss Bala' (Miss Baja) in West LA last week. Upon further investigation, this movie was presented at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and in an absurd decision, the movie did not make the short list for "Best Foreign Language Film" @ the 84th Academy Awards.

We're talking Baja California about the Drug War so it does containg heavy violence and explicit content. However, the grotesque scenes of bloodshed were not overtly present. An emotional rollercoaster of a movie- it was quite excellent.

The movie slightly reminded me of my trip to Tijuana with my whole immediate family (crazy good times- years ago) and a few of my more recent visits to Mexicali - yet, thankfully, without hiccups of danger.

See it!

Continuing with my day, coincidentally, I had the pleasure of meeting the fabulous Embeth Davidtz! She is most recently known for her role she plays in Californication on Showtime.
